There has been much chatter about Dallas' offensive struggles without Ezekiel Elliott consider that since Week 10, when Elliott's six game suspension started, the Cowboys have averaged 125.5 fewer yards per game than they did with Elliott in the lineup. Cheap Youth Giambi Indians Jerseys What we will look for what Russell hopes to prove to at least one team is vast improvement with each workout, signifying a new dedication to his craft that the notoriously lazy quarterback lacked in his stint with the Raiders. Such famous lack of effort led him to being labeled one of the biggest draft busts in NFL history.. Cheap Authentic Vincent Trocheck Jerseys The Titans believe Johnson will help sell tickets and want to keep him. Some of his struggles this year have been attributed to a banged up offensive line.. All is not doom and gloom for the Ravens. They're still a good team. Hackenberg initially fell victim to the crowded house at quarterback. He was fourth on the depth chart, which meant fewer reps than Ryan Fitzpatrick, Geno Smith and Bryce Petty. Cheap Nike Cunningham Jared Red Jerseys Glennon has generated significant buzz in the scouting community as a gifted pocket passer with A plus arm talent.

  • RB Saquon Barkley, Penn State
    2018 NFL DRAFT SCOUTING REPORT FEBRUARY 5, 2018 2018 Early Draft Scouting/Fantasy Valuation: RB Saquon Barkley, Penn State *Our QB grades can and will change as more information comes in from Pro Day workouts, leaked Wonderlic test results, etc. We will update ratings as new info becomes available. The question I have received most often in the early 2018 NFL Draft process, as it pertains to Dynasty- Fantasy Rookie Drafts is “How good is Saquon Barkley?” Last summer, I did a preview scouting report on Barkley…watched a little tape, input what we performance numbers we had, estimated his measurables (I’ll post that 2017 report below this piece if you’d like to look at). I did a similar drive-by scouting on Barkley again (pre-NFL Combine) recently. What I saw in 2018 is the same as I saw in 2017… I’m just going to share my notes/thoughts in a random bullet point format… -- I always see Doug Martin when I watch him run. Very fast feet, short steps. Can really hit the jets and isn’t great between the tackles as a physical runner but his quick feet allow him to get by. Not as tough as Martin up the middle, but is a fast, choppy, high-effort 217-222 pound runner who can dodge some bullets in congestion. You might scoff at Martin as a comparison, but a couple years ago he made a run at the league rushing title…doing so on a terrible offense that couldn’t block. When Martin was clean, sober and at his best…he was really good in the NFL.

  • Brady and Brees Approach All-Time Passing Milestones As Nfl Enters Week 5
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 10/2/18 http://twitter.com/nfl345 BRADY AND BREES APPROACH ALL-TIME PASSING MILESTONES AS NFL ENTERS WEEK 5 The NFL heads into the second quarter of the regular season after an exciting Week 4 which saw seven games decided by three points or fewer, including three games in overtime. At least one game has gone to overtime in each of the first four weeks of the 2018 season, joining the 1979, 1983 and 2002 seasons as the only campaigns to feature at least one overtime game in each of its first four weeks since the regular-season overtime rule was adopted in 1974. Five teams – DALLAS, HOUSTON, OAKLAND, SEATTLE and TENNESSEE – scored game-winning points on the final play of their respective contests last week. Additionally, CINCINNATI scored a go-ahead touchdown with seven seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to give the Bengals a 37-36 win over Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium last week. This is the first time since Week 3 of the 2012 season (six) that at least six games had the game-winning points scored in the final 10 seconds of the fourth quarter or overtime. Close games and high-powered offenses have highlighted a thrilling first four weeks. Week 5 promises more of the same. Two of the NFL’s all-time greats at the quarterback position – New England’s TOM BRADY and New Orleans’ DREW BREES – enter Week 5 with their eyes on history. With 201 passing yards on Monday night against Washington (8:15 PM ET, ESPN), Brees (71,740 passing yards) can surpass Pro Football Hall of Famer BRETT FAVRE (71,838) and PEYTON MANNING (71,940) to become the NFL’s all-time leading passer.
